Outlook

Available for over a year

Michael Rosen is one of the UK’s most celebrated children’s poets and authors, with a writing and performing career spanning half a century. His poems and stories have captivated generations of children. But alongside the joy and humour of much of his work, he has experienced personal loss and hardship which has also inspired his writing. Michael has written a new memoir about his experiences called Getting Better.
